Ingredients
2 tubes refrigerated crescent roll dough or Crescent Dough Sheet
1 cup Raspberry Jelly/Sauce/Preserves (homemade recipe below)
1 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened at room temperature
1/2 cup Sugar
1 Egg Yolk
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
Homemade Raspberry Sauce:
1 cup fresh raspberries
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon warm water
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Homemade Raspberry Sauce:
In a small saucepan, combine raspberries and sugar over low-medium heat. Cook for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until raspberries break down and release their juices.
Stir in the cornstarch mixture and simmer gently for another 3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
In a standing mixer, beat softened cream cheese until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add sugar and beat for another 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add vanilla extract, lemon juice, and egg yolk. Mix until well combined. Set aside.
Unroll the crescent dough on the prepared baking sheet, separating into triangles. If using crescent dough sheets, cut into triangles about 2 – 2 1/2 inches wide and 9-10 inches high using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over each crescent roll triangle. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of raspberry sauce on top of the cream cheese.
Starting from the wide end, gently roll each triangle into a crescent shape. Arrange the crescent rolls on the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 1/2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve warm. Optionally, drizzle with a milk and sugar glaze or dust with powdered sugar before serving.
